The right size for boxing gloves is indicated in ounces (oz) and depends on your body weight and intended use (training or competition). For training, boxing gloves with a higher weight (12–16 oz) are recommended, while lighter gloves (8–10 oz) are typically used in competitions. Hand circumference also plays a role, with S, M, L, and XL being common sizes.
Here's how to find the right size:
1. Determine your body weight:
This is an important factor in choosing the right number of ounces.
2. Consider the intended use:
For training, heavier boxing gloves (12–16 oz) are better, while lighter ones (8–10 oz) are used in competition.
3. Measure your hand circumference:
• Wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your hand (excluding the thumb).
• Compare the result to size charts (e.g., S = 16–18 cm, M = 19–21 cm, L = 22–23 cm, XL = 24–26 cm).
4. Try on different sizes:
A well-fitting boxing glove should fit snugly without pinching your fingers or palm. If you wear hand wraps, try on the boxing gloves with them to ensure a proper fit.
Additional tips:
• Children's gloves: For kids up to about 10 years old, 4–6 oz boxing gloves are suitable. For teens up to 15 years and women with small hands, 8 oz boxing gloves are a good choice.
• All-round gloves: 12 oz boxing gloves are often a good compromise for beginners and fitness boxing.
• Protection: 14 and 16 oz boxing gloves offer more protection during training and sparring.
• Thumb: Make sure the thumb is well protected and secured.
By following these steps and considering the various sizes and weights, you can find the boxing gloves that best suit your needs.
